University of Virginia Thought-Leaders Biosketches

Joe Campbell Ph.D., Electrical and Computer Engineering

Joe Campbell, the Lucien Carr III professor in the Charles L. Brown Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), received the 2009 John Tyndall Award from the IEEE Lasers and Electro-Optics Society and the Optical Society of America. It is the highest award given by the fiber optics industry.

Campbell is a renowned innovator in electrical engineering and nanotechnology and widely credited with having developed the modern-day detectors of laser light used in fiber optics systems in telephone and other telecommunication systems. His current research focus involves photodetectors, small semi-conductor chips that convert light into current or voltage pulses.

Campbell holds degrees in physics from the University of Texas at Austin and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Before joining the U.Va. faculty, he served on the faculty of the University of Texas at Austin as professor of electrical and computer engineering and Cockrell Family Regents Chair in Engineering. In 2002, Campbell was named to the National Academy of Engineering, considered one of the highest honors in the engineering professions.

Stephen Rich M.D., Director-Center for Public Health Geonomics

Stephen S. Rich. M.D., one of the worlds' leading epidemiologist and geneticists, directs the new Center for Public Health Genomics. With his leadership, the center works to translate findings from the Human Genome Project into usable science and treatments to benefit patients.

Steve is known internationally for his work in molecular epidemiology, focusing on the genetic basis of diabetes. He is currently the principal investigator and chairman of the Steering Committee for the Type I Diabetes Genetics Consortium and is the chairman of the Steering Committee and co-principal investigator for the Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Family Study

He also has collaborated on several projects studying the genetic basis of a wide array of conditions, including diabetic kidney and heart disease, susceptibility to middle ear infections, asthma and stroke.

Steve received his undergraduate degree from North CarolinaStateUniversity and his doctorate in quantitative genetics from PurdueUniversity. He then joined the faculty of the University of Minnesota in the Department of Laboratory Medicine. He later joined the faculty of Wake Forest University School of Medicine, where he was director of the Center for Public Health Genomics.

He has written more than 500 publications including peer-reviewed journal articles, editorial commentary, reviews, book chapters and books. He currently serves as an associate editor for Genetic Epidemiology and Diabetes, as well as serving on the editorial board of Current Diabetes Reviews.

Andrew Grimshaw, Ph.D., Computer Science

Grimshaw anticipated that gigabit networks make possible the realization of

very large nationwide virtual computers comprised of a variety of geographically

distributed high-performance machines and workstations. To realize the potential

ofthe physical infrastructure, software must be developed that is easy to use,

supports large degrees of parallelism in applications code, and manages the

complexity of the underlying physical system for the user. Grimshaw's early

research projects include Mentat and ELFS.

Mentat was an early object-oriented parallel processing system designed to simplify the task of writing parallel programs. ELFS (Extensible File Systems) addresses the I/O crisis brought on by parallel computers. These projects laid the foundation for the creation of Legion, a collaborative project to realize the potential of the NII by constructing a very large virtual computer that spans the globe. Legion addresses issues such as parallelism, fault-tolerance, security, autonomy, heterogeneity, resource management, and access transparency in a multi-language environment. The Legion project helped set the standards for current Grid Computing research, and has also formed the technological basis of Avaki Corporation (now merged with Sybase).

Andrew Grimshaw received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1988. He then joined the University of Virginia as an Assistant Professor of Computer Science, and became Associate Professor in 1994 and Professor in 1999.

He is the chief designer and architect of Mentat and Legion. In 1999 he co-founded Avaki Corporation, and served as its Chairman and Chief Technical Officer, until 2005 when Avaki was acquired by Sybase. In 2003 he won the Frost and Sullivan Technology Innovation Award.

Andrew is a member of the Global Grid Forum (GGR) Steering Committee and the Architecture Area Director in the GGF. He has served on the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure (NPACI) Executive Committee, the DoD MSRC Programming Environments and Training (PET) Executive Committee, the CESDIS Science Council, the NRC Review Panel for Information Technology, and the Board on Assessment of NIST Programs. He is the author or co-author of over 50 publications and book chapters.
